    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    I listened to it on Amazon, pretty good album. Ever since they released the first track Beautiful People, I have been listening to that one a lot. Their tickets just went on sale too for the fall here, but I didn't pick them up.

    Yamaha NS-555 vs Magnat Tempus 77

    Most home speakers are 8 Ohm and receivers are designed with that in mind. As long as you aren't looking for very loud levels, I would expect it to handle either of those speakers.

    New Atmos albums from Rhino

    Yeah, I have Rumors SACD, but I picked that up cheap. I have JLP and JLP unplugged. Not sure if I'd need to hear that in Atmos lol. The Doors, I don't have the best of; I have LA Woman DVD-A, which I bought when it came out in 2000. Picked it up at Tower Records.

    New Atmos albums from Rhino

    4 new albums in Atmos on Blu-ray. I will probably wait for some reviews, but I am likely pick up Rumours and Doors: https://theseconddisc.com/2024/04/02/break-on-through-rhino-launches-dolby-atmos-series-on-blu-ray-with-the-doors-alanis-hootie-fleetwood-mac/

    LED Household light bulbs

    I have been 100% LED for quite a while. I use a lot of different brands, basically whatever I find usually. Ecosmart, Philips, Feit, etc... and most seem to last a pretty long time. I also tend to buy 6 or 8 packs. With the Feits, I had some fail within a year or so, but when I replaced with...

    Solar Eclipse

    I had glasses left from the Dec one. It was so bright out still that we didn't even know it started until someone mentioned it. I was in a meeting lol. We were able to catch the majority of it, including the peak, but we only got about 30% coverage here.

    Electric Vehicles?

    Tesla has apparently postponed or scrapped their new compact saying it will be too difficult to make a profit in the current market. Yes, the first electric vehicle was invented in Scotland in the 1800s. But the first commercially mass produced was in the US...

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    You should see the calipers and rotors on my other car :D 6 pot front, 4 pot rear. It is time to do the fronts and that is going to cost me a pretty penny. The bolts alone required for the rings now cost about 5x what they did originally; about $150 just for those. Besides the ridiculous...

    Netflix, Avatar: The Last Airbender

    Surprised we didn't have a thread. It is different from the anime, being more compressed, but I liked it.

    Electric Vehicles?

    Tesla appears to be prepping to make their compact here in TX, instead of completely in China, in an effort to ensure it gets the tax credit. Tax credit is lower for a $25k car though, IF they can make it at that price. They still say they can. I am deciding if I want to replace my car now or...

    Timber Matching Speakers

    My mains and center don't match either and they blend fine to my ears. All of them employ ribbon tweeters and all are pretty neutral, so they blend well enough.

    Timber Matching Speakers

    No, you don't need to match the wood for your speakers ;) IMO, you should timbre match the front 3. The rest have a lot less of an effect. In an IDEAL world, they would all be matched, but the reality is, you can get it pretty close and it will work fine. As mentioned, if you are into...

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    Well, I can't believe it. The insurance actually offered me a very fair price, almost what I was asking as my sale price. The buyback is low too, so I will be buying it to part out or sell. There are some very rare Japan STI suspension parts on it. Then I can start looking for the next car.
